Thanks for the review. Unfortunately HDTune is a purely synthetic benchmark. To get a better idea of real life performance I'd like to see different benchmarks. It would be very interesting if you could time some Windows XP boots with boottimer.exe or PC Mark 05, or run some different application benchmarks like Veristone Wintest.

Here's how some of these drives do in PC Mark 05 booting Windows XP.
